Overview:

The Russian 10th Tank Corps, reinforced with infantry of the 219th Rifle Division, were in assault positions waiting to attack into the exposed lank of the 48th Panzer Corps. The 18rd Tank Brigade, led by a platoon commanded by Lt. Kadiev, attacked toward Verkhopene and quickly overran the forward German outposts. Kadiev’s tanks aggressively moved through the Tolstoy Woods and encountered a counterattacking German Panzer and infantry force, which turned into a sharp engagement.
Attacker: Russian (183rd Tank Brigade, 10th Tank Corps)

2023-08-09(D) Øyvind Jacobsen Bjørkås vs Lars German win
2022-10-08(D) Mark Thompson vs Martin Vicca (Germans) Russian winThe Germans laid down impactful fire lanes in the first turn and whittled down the Russian forces with the help of strong rolls. A Human Wave along the North edge allowed the Russians to take the flanks, and the Germans had a tough time retreating without loss. When the German MMG squad covering the depression broke and the HMG malt'd, the Russian T-34s/riders smashed into and took the village, with along a German HS remaining. The Germans pushed hard to retake three buildings, and managed to take two, but it was too late and the Russians effectively rebuffed the counterattack. Well played Martin.
2021-03-19(D) Andy Bagley vs Tony Gibson German winI felt I was a bit lucky here, despite the stats showing my average DR >7. But this hides a lot of 3's on key shots (including killing his 9-1 leader) and a lot of 11's on shots that mattered a lot less. So whilst the Russian tanks could roam around almost unimpeded (no AT capability other than CC until my tanks arrived, and even then they out-armour the Germans), the Russian infantry failed to make it to the village in sufficient numbers to take the necessary buildings. Good scenario though, could easily have gone the other way.
2020-12-13(A) Øyvind Jacobsen Bjørkås vs Tuomo Lukkari German winThe Russian pressed very hard in the first two rounds, and almost destroyed the at-start German forces. However this decimated the Russian forces, so that only approximately 4 squads and 3 tanks was in the outskirts of the village when the German counterattack came. The Germans came on the south flank, and the armor battle left one Russian wreck and two malfed/disabled MAs, leaving the Russians with only a desperate charge in the endgame.
2020-06-28(A) Martí Cabré vs Felipe Zavala German winI launched two Russian human waves to get to the first German line of defense and it worked but with too much losses, then I used the low ground and the woods to get to the village and one tank gave support fire to take one building. Then I advanced all the tanks for the counterattack and managed to kill the 3 German PzIII at a loss of one T-34 but time ran short, the German MG had been too hot and I had failed many ELR so lots of conscript Russian squads around that could not be rallied and I lacked the final punch to get the 5 buildings, I just moved everyone forward and the German residual fire caused by spraying fire mowed them down. The game saw 3 berserk units and lots of ROF, KIA and K/2 results.
